To which she replied: “I think it is a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he has affirmatively stated that there is no truth to it.”

She went on to say: “I don’t think that’s a question you would ask many other daughters.”

“I believe my father, I know my father,” she added. “So I think I have that right as a daughter to believe my father.”

Rachel Crooks, who is one of the women who claims Mr Trump forcibly kissed her in 2006, tweeted: “I understand the unfortunate position someone would be in to have to admit their father is a misogynist and a sexual predator, but those who remain complicit in his actions are also part of the problem.”

The President repeatedly threatened to sue women accusing him of assault but he has not done so.

In the interview, Ms Trump – who has presented herself as an advocate of women and families – said her father’s idea of arming teachers with guns to prevent school shootings is an idea worth discussing.
